$1.8B Pours Into BTC ETFs. Is This the Start of the Real Rally?

Spot Bitcoin ETFs logged more than $1.8 billion in net inflows, helping push BTC back above $97,000 and reminding traders that Wall Street can still move the tape.

Goldman Says CLARITY Act Is Far From Done

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon says the US CLARITY Act "has a long way to go," even as his team tracks it closely for what it could mean for tokenization and stablecoins. The bill's markup was pulled after Coinbase withdrew support, leaving one of crypto's flagship market structure laws stuck in neutral.

Fed Under Fire, Influencers on Notice

The U.S. Department of Justice, at President Donald Trump's direction, has opened a criminal investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell over alleged misuse of renovation funds, a charge Powell rejects as political pressure in disguise.

Meanwhile, Italy's market watchdog is warning "fin-fluencers" that hyping volatile assets is not the same as selling shoes, and that pushing crypto to followers can bring legal risk if losses mount.
